The Pattern of Second Primary Tumours in Postmenopausal Women with Prior Breast Cancer in Western Romania: A Retrospective, Single-Institution Study

With improved survival, more patients with prior breast cancer are at risk of having a second primary cancer diagnosed. The pattern and impact of second primary cancers following breast cancer is important for overall breast cancer therapeutic management. Our study is a first analysis of the trend o...

description With improved survival, more patients with prior breast cancer are at risk of having a second primary cancer diagnosed. The pattern and impact of second primary cancers following breast cancer is important for overall breast cancer therapeutic management. Our study is a first analysis of the trend of second primary tumours over time in terms of incidence, sites with significantly elevated risks and correlation with stage, molecular subtype and therapeutic strategies conducted in Eastern Europe in postmenopausal women with breast cancer. Patients and methods: Our study population included 28 patients with prior breast cancer (BC) and second primary tumours, which were diagnosed and treated in our Institution between 2004 and 2017. The criteria for selection were based on the completeness of the documentation of the first treatment for breast cancer, stage of disease, molecular subtype, the site of origin of the second tumours and the survival data. Results: An increased risk of second primary cancer was associated with the 51–60 years age group (53.6%), with the greater prevalence in patients living in urban environments (82.1%).

Our study is a first analysis of the trend of second primary tumours over time in terms of identifying sites with significantly elevated risks and correlation with therapeutic strategies conducted in Eastern Europe in postmenopausal women with breast cancer. Conclusions: Our study is a first analysis of the trend of second primary tumours over time in terms of correlation with luminal subtype and stage at diagnosis of primary cancer sites with significantly elevated risks and correlation with therapeutic strategies in postmenopausal women with breast cancer conducted in Eastern Europe.
